Is this a long drawn out way to say he’s transferring?

I don't believe so.

I listened to Fitz while driving through the state today. It seems that Justice has just always planned and looked forward to playing for CMA period and is taking some time to rethink, and let his emotions settle before continueing on. I don't think he will transfer or withdraw.

They have been extremely close to CMA for a long time.

Pat Bradley shared his thoughts today as well.

One thing Fitz said something like., "After seeing the numbers at the Bud this season, I thought... ohhh no! That makes a difference in these decisions" and... he and Pat both said, "You don't fire a coach like CMA without already having someone specific in mind".

I get this vibe. He can pursue a waiver using this early enrollment semester and potentially turn it into something similar to Bru McCoy at USC to Texas.

Could be a mutual parting depending on who the new coach is and whether he wants to honor his scholarship because no doubt about it his offer from Mike had a lot to do with Fitz-Mike relationship.

For those that have seen him play both sports, be honest. Which sport is he best at? High school kids tend to gravitate towards basketball because its cooler, I get that.

His best sport is football. He definitely has potential to make it to the league for football as a RB or slot guy.

He's a 5'11" point guard, I'd go with football.

I'm sure Mike will resurface at somewhere like Vandy or a mid major, and Hill will likely go there. The ncaa should give him a Waiver, but I'm sure they won't.

Is he really 5’11 or is that listed height?

He's more like 5'9". Maybe 5'10" on a "good day"

I like the kid and I like Fitz... but he does get treated like a friggin DIVA. I hope if he stays that's not a sign of things to come.

I don't care about his height if he is a point guard. I care about his moves with the ball in his hand and his ability to dish the rock. A lot of the all time great point guards were right around 6' tall.

ETA: "Hey guys, we got this guy named John Stockton Jr. I wonder if he is too short to play ball?"

He’s a good player, he is not the savior some people make him out to be. If It wasn’t Fitz’s son he damn sure wouldn’t have been offered as a 9th grader. The excuse on Isaac McBride was that he blew up late in his career, but he’s been an obviously better prospect than Hill for a couple of years.

Justice Hill needs to be in the direct snap "Wildhog" package as a true freshman in football.

His field awareness as a QB is phenomenal

He's quick as anyone you could ever see, and he can throw.
